Could you define "reconstructed"? Do you mean in the style of the BBC's reconstruction of The Tenth Planet 4?

What are you asking, William? How likely is it that enough material will turn up on 8mm to reconstruct an entire episode, or whether an episode could be reconstructed using what we currently have.
If the former, then the chances of all 25 minutes having been shot by someone are very slim indeed, bordering on zero. If however, you had clips that make up an entire episode, then it would be relatively easy to stitch them together.
If you're asking the latter, I suggest you look for information on the many missing episode reconstructions that have already been done.

I found an old Brownie 8mm movie camera in the basement, late 1940's/early 1950's vintage. If memory serves, you got 4 minutes of film with each roll - 2 minutes on each side; after you exposed one side, you opened the camera and flipped the film over. This camera was the wind-up type, and with the motor fully wound, you could run the camera for about 20 seconds. Even if whomever was filming "Doctor Who" off the TV had a more state-of-the-art movie camera, it seems unlikely that he/she would have filmed 25 minutes of footage of the same episode, unless that person had several movie cameras. Even so, the quality would be poor - witness the various 8mm clips included on the "Lost In Time" DVD.

yes depending on format shutter speed and luck 2-1/2 to 4 minutes per role, the double sided film is double perforated 16mm called standard 8 or double 8, what I supose I really mean is how much do you think was recorded this way based on what has turned up?

I have the Lost In Time set, I love it. It was really a treat seeing Day of Armageddon for the first time, and the footage from Fury From the Deep. Also, the new restored versions of Enemy of the World and Abominable Snowmen are far superior to the first VHS releases.

Very true... best Doctor Who DVD release of all for me. All of the episodes were far superior to VHS... Compare "The Final Test" between "The Hartnell Years" VHS, and the DVD! For me, the restoration team did a grand job that is almost sci-fi in itself! |
